Put simply, Marco Rubio believes the federal government is too big, so he will fight to make it smaller. He believes Congress takes too much of your money and spends it foolishly, so he will bring real change and reform to Washington. He believes politicians make for terrible businessmen, doctors, automobile engineers, and bankers, so they should not take over Wall Street, health care, car companies, and banks. He believes that free people make better decisions about their own money and their own lives than politicians ever could.
There's no way to know if Charlie Crist believes that, or anything else.
A Crist Republican is somebody who believes in getting elected...and little else.

That is an excellent way of putting it. A moniker widely applicable, "Crist Republican".
Tragically it describes too many Republicans, and why I advocate a conservative third party. I have a common sense conservative friend who has said for a long time, "at least I know what the Democrats stand for."
“A Crist Republican is somebody who believes in getting elected...and little else.”
Sorry, don’t agree. If that were the case, he’d be a conservative, since conservatives outnumber liberals 2 to 1. Actually, it’s someone who has strong beliefs, they just happen to be, in many (if not most) cases, the other side’s platform.
